Very nice article. I believe that the cost factor in this chain so to speak such as Food and drink prices is set to high and I also believe They do not listen to what the community has to say. With that being said we all know high prices or not there will always be a vast number of people attending. High or low, would it make a difference/ I am not sure. Wish there was more info on this.

Not sure. I do know at 12:00 Saturday the 22nd of may there was 22 thousand.

I have never been to Del-Taco. bring back Zantigo's please.

No I just feel 70.

Thank you for the wonderful pics.

I have so many pics and stuff from those days. I actually even have a paycheck and stub I never cashed posted here once. I still have my uniform from when my twin brother and I worked the Giant slide . So many memories of that place over the last 30 years.

I am 44... was an inside joke! I worked in Rides thru the early to mid 80's. Don Miller was a rides supervisor on The Beast. Then in Entertainment in the mid to latter part of the 90's

Robbie (CoastersRZ) will not approve of this post. It is a joke and a pic of a old light footer at The Racer. Which is allowed. Beastfan26 don't act like a moderator in which you are not.

I dont want to spend the night. Thru the 90's when I was in entertainment, we would finish the show. Since we were Salary and not hourly we would at night go and change bulbs in all the rides that were burnt out. Such as FOF and more. It was very spooky in there. In 1997 we also decorated the park for Halloween. I had my Scooby drivers license. I could operate all vehicles in the park except security and fire. We had huge driveable cherry pickers we got to the top of the International Street Buildings to hang purple and orange swags and bows(which we made by hand.) I drove that thing back towards Shake Rattle and Roll and no one else was back there and it was so erie and spooky. I had cold chills and the back of my hair was standing on end. Yeah Yeah laugh if you want, guess you just had to be there. But I guess if people were there and the park was in operation that would be a different story. Those were awesome times. Oh so many stories.

Me too but I wont be 18 till July 23rd...lol

Even though I know it will never happen but wouldn't it be awesome for KI to be open 24 hours through out June and July. I would love that! Even though it would be impossible.

Thats one reason I never went today. I will not wait more than 30 minutes for any ride.

It can't be! I say it can not be. I found the find of the century! ha!

Chaddie? what was that footer we saw for? It was never there before. I will post a pic as soon as i find it.

Was there three times this week, nothing has been torn down or such the like.

I know y'all will not like this but I say tear it down. To me it is a waste and was a waste when it was running. But that is only my opinion and mine do not count.

This week the rides were walk on's. Last night not so bad really but today I am afraid it is going to be bad...lol... Should I go or not is the question...lol

Awesome Lakota88. I think any age is a good age to introduce KI to any child or adult for that matter. My parents who are in their 70's go once a week. they do not ride anything just admire the exercise. I have been going since the park opened. I have seen the good and bad and worked there for many many years but you know in the end, even through bad times it is still one of my favorite places on earth to escape.

Your welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. One thing I did notice last night was a man was going around doing nothing but cleaning the ashtrays, I thought that was awesome. I give CF kudos for keeping such a clean park.

I found my new love tonight, "THE Kings Island ASHTRAY"

Mine came up as KI also....

If I had to pay the water bill KI has too, i would have surely turned it off also.

8.3 miles, straight up 48
